(Houston) – ABS Group of Companies, Inc. (ABS Group) is expanding its remote process safety management (PSM) capabilities for facility owners to help the Oil, Gas and Chemical and other process industries maintain effective and efficient safety management for critical assets and operations.

"Organizations must rely on remote and virtual operations during this unprecedented time, and ABS Group will continue to support our clients' business continuity using the latest digital technologies and techniques," says Ryan Moody, President and CEO at ABS Group.
